hi guys im trying to make the words that have capital letters in small caps, then count the numbers of times a certain words appears in the text.

i managed to count the number of times a word appears but now im having trouble converting upperletters to caps on all words.

here is my code:

words = {}
file = open ('input.txt', 'r')                    
for line in file:                             
    wordlist = line.split()

    for word in wordlist:

       if words.upper(word):
            words[word]=words.lower(word)   #<<< not working for conversion but not sure.

        if words.has_key(word):
            words[word]=words[word]+1
        else:
            words[word] = 1       
for word in words:
        print word, words[word]words = {}

thank u!

I could be wrong, but words is a dict and dict does not have a lower method. Are you looking to do this perhaps?

words[word] = word.lower(word)

in which case you might want to do this:

words[word] = word.lower()
